9. Firebase Firestore database

I start by showing how the app works real-time with the Firestore database.

The application will run on any browser on any device with any screen size.

I try to describe how a traditional HTML form communicated asynchronously with JQuery to a database.

I get into the code and show the form and how it sends information to the Firebases Firestore database using the Firebase programming code.

I talk briefly about "collections" and "documents" which is the language used for Firebase's Firestore NoSQL storage system.

I go quickly through the code. The big takeaway is that sending and retrieving data to and from the Firestore is just a simple call.

You don't have to set up websockets to keep the real-time communication line open. Its handled by the Firestore module.

You don't have to install, manage or update the Firestore database. Its managed for you! You just get to use it.

I briefly touch on Vue's "reactive" capabilities.

I end by rambling on and laughing at myself for not being able to end the video in an elegant way.
